]]>Remember the times you spent standing on a chair in the kitchen, helping perfect your family’s chocolate chip cookie recipe? Remember sneaking licks from the bowl because you just couldn’t wait for those gooey, warm cookies to emerge from the oven? If this sounds familiar, then boy do we have the perfect smoothie recipe for you. Treat your nostalgic taste buds with this cookie dough smoothie Grandma would be proud of. After all, for every green smoothie, there has to be a dessert smoothie, right?

]]>Smoothies aren’t just for mornings and snack time anymore! You can enjoy this sweet treat for dessert with the added bonus of protein, potassium, and active cultures from the yogurt. Grab a slice of chocolate cake and some Tillamook Dessert Yogurt and #GetBlending!

2. Once frozen, place all ingredients into your blender – yep, the whole piece of cake – and blend for 2 minutes on medium-high. Blend ingredients together on medium-high for 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined.

3. Pour into a glass, top with some sprinkles, and enjoy immediately.

Don’t forget to share your smoothie creations with us on Instagram and Twitter using #GetBlending!

]]>Smoothies that look like vegetables but taste like fruit—genius! Some call them monster smoothies, Hulk’s drink, or simply green smoothies! Whatever you call them, green smoothies are all the rage these days; they’re unique, simple, and provide all the nutrients you could ask for! Try these top 5 green smoothie recipes to add a little life to your diet!

Cool-as-a-CucumberTired of all-fruit smoothies? Try this refreshing and nourishing green smoothie from The Perfect Pantry. I like to save time by using Tillamook Honey Peach Farmstyle Greek Yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt plus a couple teaspoons of honey. The touch of peach adds a little sweet and a whole lot of yum!

]]>Smoothies are in right now. They can be sweet and fruity, full of veggies, super creamy, packed full of nutrients…there are so many variations. But that’s also the beauty of it. You can turn a smoothie into whatever you want it to be! With the start of a new year, and people being more health conscious than ever, I thought it would be a good time to share tips & tricks for making smoothies. Here are my top 5:

1. Ice cube trays are your friendReally, your best friend when making smoothies. Want some fresh herbs or leafy greens in your smoothie, but don’t have any on hand? Good thing you froze some mint in water in your ice cube tray a few weeks back. Want some tea flavor in your smoothie, but don’t want to make your smoothie a runny consistency from the heat? Good thing you froze some in an ice cube tray last time you made tea. You can freeze almost anything this way: spinach, mint, tea, lemonade… anything that you want to add to your smoothie consistently, but don’t always have on hand. Freeze in an ice cube tray and once everything is frozen, put them in a plastic bag so you can take a cube or two out when you’re ready.

2. Add a boost!Smoothies are a great vehicle to get some extra energy or vitamins. Add vitamins, protein powder, or even chia seeds that are full of antioxidants to your next smoothie. Depending on what you add, you may not even taste a difference, but can get more out of it!

3. Add textureOne of my favorite ways to add texture to a smoothie is by adding oatmeal. Best part, doesn’t matter if it’s raw or cooked. Both ways add a great texture to smoothies for those of you looking for a little bite. Chia seeds are another great thing to add a little texture to your next smoothie.

4. Love thick?Some of the best smoothies, are the really thick ones that give your cheeks a workout at the same time you’re drinking them. Thick, creamy, goodness. My tips for getting there…Use thick ingredients to start with. Tillamook Farmstyle Greek Yogurt, peanut butter, and avocado are just a few examples. An alternative is to freeze your ingredients before blending them up. A great way to do this is if you’re using fresh fruit. Freezing them first will keep the consistency of your smoothie thicker. Cheers to that!

5. Have some leftovers? Popsicle time!Ever make more smoothie than you need, but not enough to keep for a later time? Popsicles are the perfect solution. Use popsicle molds to use up remaining smoothies without wasting a sip!
